Maybe I'm in the minority but I think the flip-up front looks better than the projector style of the NA2. My friend with a '94 agrees, but maybe he's biased.
I agree, I think the pre-2002 headlights look more aggressive. '02+ look like bug eyes.
I like them both, but the early ones are the ones that I'm attracted to.
I liked the C-5 vette flip ups more than the C-6's too. I think the hidden headlight will come back. It's all design cycles that tend to get recycled.

I like the flip ups too, something about that old style that I just like about the older ones. I like the 97-01, flip ups + 3.2L 6MT is the ideal one for me

early years NSX had quicker steering rack.
and also no DBW.
and also lighter weight.
but also 5 gears transmission and 20bhp less powerfull engine.

i fancy one a lot - but having looked at the clutch and brake parts costs i think it's too expensive for me....

i can call this interior anything but not "dated":

Nah, I don't see flip up lights coming back. They add complexity and weight and a potential for failure in a critical safety feature. And with tiny projector lenses sporting HID light sources or the newer LED light sources coming into the mainstream, there's no longer any need to hide big, bulky headlamps for looks or aerodynamics. I for one do not mourn the passing of flipper headlights. Along with "T-tops" they have been consigned to the dustbin of history for a reason.

i love my nsx. it's comfortable, nimble , great steering, and the trans is smooth. love hearing the engine behind me. Extremely reliable too. It's a 20+ year old design that looks like its from the future
Heres a pic of mine

I really want an NSX, but I opted for the stallion instead
